not been on this site in ages and hoped I would never need to…
Had WLE in Aug 2009 , Stage 1, Grade 2, 1.1cm, ER+ tumour successfully removed. No nodal involvement.Had course of 15 Rads followed by Tamoxifen since Sept 2009. No chemo needed
Been really well and positive ever since and life has moved on.
Now have a cough which has lasted nearly 5 weeks. Have had such coughs before, esp as a child/teenager but am now dead scared that this could be lung mets…
No other symptoms.
I know I must go to GP but feel so reluctant to start the ball rolling down BC’s vile path again
Hi please go see gp it’s best to check I’ve got lung mets had a small cough but also chest pain they found mine by accident it cld be loads of things chest inf etc I don’t wanna scare u but like u know the earlier u catch thease things the better kp posting go make that appt let us no how u get on big hug Laura
You need to go don’t leave it I know y scared I was only dx in march I’m scared to death started chemo in may had gd response it cld be something else just pick up the phone tomorrow make the apt
I know how you feel, I’ve been doing the same waiting. I had a really bad cold in Feb and another one in April and I was left with loads of phlem for ages, it got better but I’ve been left with a cough.
I already have secondaries to the bone (4 yrs) and they dont really cause me any problems. I didnt wont to say anything about my cough as I wanted to go to Greece in June. My friend pushed me to see my onc last week (I have Herceptin every weeks so I’m at the hospital)I had a CT scan on Friday so now I’m waiting for the results.
I’ve booked to go abroad at Xmas and I dont want to pay for it if I’m not going to be able to go.
I’m not breathless and I dont cough when exercising, soon the worry will be over and at last I’ll know one way or another. I looked on the net and loads of things can cause coughing.
I have made the first step and been to GP. She has prescribed antibiotics and said if these don’t clear it up in a week, to go back and they’ll see about doing a chest x-ray.
So fingers crossed they will work. It does actually feel a bit better today, strangely enough!
